This is one of the reasons that we use monit instead of SMF to monitor our services. http://tildeslash.com/monit/
The main other reason we use monit, is that it can monitor memory usage, and restart daemons if they are either taking up to much memory or CPU. (One of the libraries we use has a memory leak). Feel free to ping me if you need help getting monit up and running.
